As a member of ABC subfamily G (ABCG), OsABCG31 is essential for the retention of leaf water[1][2].

Annotated Information

Function

  • The Os01g0177900 gene product is an ABC-2 type transporter domain containing protein, predicted to participate in the transport of secondary metabolites. It is involved in various plant-pathogen interactions, and may also contribute to the transport of signalling molecules and the secretion of volatiles[1].
  • One of these 10 genes encoded an OsABCG31 transporter and so was taken as the candidate for Eibi1. The sequence of the wild-type and mutant alleles revealed a single nucleotide difference in exon 14, predicted to alter a tryptophan codon into a TAG stop codon and thereby inducing a probable loss of function[2].
  • Characterization of both barley and rice alleles indicated that the ABCG31 gene encoding a full ABCG transporter is involved in the formation of a functional cuticle. EIBI1 and its rice ortholog OsABCG31 may play additional roles in plant development[2].

Mutation

  • osabcg31.b
  • osabcg31.c
  • Two independent transposon Oryza sativa 17 (Tos17) events within OsABCG31 (osabcg31.b and osabcg31.c) were identified (Fig. 1 E–G), and the association between genotype and leaf water retention was tested.
  • Loss-of-function mutants in both wild barley and rice are less able to retain leaf water than their respective wild types. However, shoot development was compromised much more heavily in the rice mutants than in wild barley mutants. The rice mutants attained a plant height of just 3–8 cm and did not develop beyond the four- to five-leaf stage; whereas the two barley mutants attained a height of about two-thirds that of the wild type and were able to complete their life cycle through to maturity[2].

Expression

  • The two mutants were both highly sensitive to drought stress (as represented by osabcg31.b in Fig. 2 H), and their leaves, along with those of the two wild barley eibi1 mutants, were readily stained by toluidine blue, similar to Arabidopsis plants having defective cuticle[2][3][4].
  • Leaf permeability is much more increased in hvabcg31 and osabcg31 than in atabcg32, indicating the importance of ABCG31 in monocot leaf water retention[2].

Evolution

Figure 2. Phylogeny of EIBI1.(from reference [2]).
  • The sequences of the wheat ESTs CJ579262, CD887967 and CD902914 share homology with the rice sequences Os01g0177900, Os01g0177200 and Os01g0176500, respectively[1].
  • Homologs of EIBI1 were found in rice(OsABCG31), Arabidopsis(AtABCG32), Selaginella moellendorffii (Smo412699), Physcomitrella patens(Pp1s375_5V6.1), and Volvox carteri (Vca 40167). The monocot rice and the dicot Arabidopsis shared 92% and 71% sequence identities with EIBI1, respectively, indicating the conservation of EIBI1 in monocot and dicot plants(Figure 2)[2].

Knowledge Extension

Members of the diverse and ubiquitous family of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) proteins are involved in the transmembrane transport of various molecules[5][6]. ABC subfamily G (ABCG) includes both white-brown complex (WBC) half transporters and pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR) full transporters[7]. ABCG full transporters are thought to be specific to plants and fungi, where they participate in defense against pathogens and in resistance to cadmium, antimicrobial terpenoids, and auxinic compounds[2][8].
